I mentioned here that my favorite part of the 2011 HGTV Dream Home was the guest bedroom for it's hotel-chic vibe. Since then, I've been working to find other images for creating hotel-chic bedrooms and bathrooms. Most of these images seem to have a few common elements.
For Bathrooms:
1. Quality bath towels (preferably in neutral colors) are a must. Folding them or rolling them on shelves gives more of a hotel vibe.
2. Provide (if it's the guest bathroom) and organize toiletries on a tray. Soaps and shampoos placed in a tray look much more impressive than if they were just stashed in a drawer.
3. Simple, classic elements like subway tiles and glass shower doors are timeless and gives the room a spa-quality.

For Bedrooms:
1. The fewer knick knacks, the better. Pick a few basic accessories, and leave it at that. I can't recall staying in a hotel room that felt cluttered.
2. LIGHTING! This is one of the most important elements for create a hotel-vibe. While a chandelier isn't necessary, I think it would add a little glamour, especially if you're using all neutrals. Also, bedside lamps are a must.
3. Symmetry is important. How often do you visit a hotel where the bed is shoved awkwardly in the corner? Matching night stands and lamps or sconces help accomplish this.
4. Linens: Basic, good-quality bedding (with lots of pillows) helps pull off the hotel look- and just think, you don't even have to worry about bed bugs (I hope)!
